probably because it has the best OP

Thx for posting, this article was extremely informative to me.

Anyone know anything about https://www.blockchains.com/? They just purchased 64,000 acres in the industrial park in Reno where Tesla built their gigafactory and are apparently associated with ethereum in some way?

Seems interesting.

Its an amusement park run on blockchain

If you are a bitcoin maximalist, it's not too late to change your mind.

Bold prediction: Eth price never drops to 10% of BTC again.

Newer bolderer prediction: The mETH flippening will happen this year, probably in the first half. No clue what will happen to BTC after that but it could get ugly.

Coincidentally, this will also be the next day that Kazuya posts ITT.

I made this post in about the forums, appreciate any feedback and suggestions: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/5.../#post53451411

It wouldn't hurt to add something to the Sticky about crypto and maybe a separate buyer's beware-similar to the first post in the ICO thread. Poker players should be more skeptical than anyone when it comes to scams and risky investing.

Why is this thread so dead during its biggest drop in forever?

Its fun watching your portfolio lose like 50% over a few days... guessing everyone panic sold. Still holding, bought a bit more, and too stubborn to get out now lol. HODL

Still above start of 2018 price. Don't think anyone is too worried.

This. Ethereum has saved my portfolio

I m a noob that 80% portfolio loss will hopefully be a valuable learning experience , you missed out

Yeah things are as bright as ever imo. Major developments planned in the coming months (raiden plasma) to look forward to

do we expect to see eth price lag this year as new ICOs start choosing alternatives? think they host 80%+ atm which can surely only go down, so my question is will that negatively impact price and how badly?

and would it affect price at all if a bunch of erc20s go broke this year?

many regulatory bodies are beginning to label ethereum's ico as a issuance of security

here are the swiss saying that ETH raise was a security
https://www.finma.ch/en/news/2018/02...co-wegleitung/
coupled with Jay Clayton during his senate hearing saying every ICO he's studied is a security


although it is unlikely that these governments retroactively target ethereum as a security, it does make one wonder what may happen in the future once these massive ICO raises go bust and people flood these regulatory bodies with complaints.

I remember reading that post last September. Maybe I am dumb but I still don't know which coins you consider to be bets on web3.0 other than ether.

Aren't basically all cryptos bets on web 3.0?

Focus less on the words and more on the T Swift gif

No way they retroactively enforce. Basically everything pre DAO report is grandfathered. Post, is another question.

they could, but i generally agree that it is unlikely.

there are tons of stories out there of people meeting with vitalik privately and writing checks to the EF before they launched the coin.

that's called capital formation. We havent even gotten to the issue of him selling a security yet.

Not sure if been posted but anyone seen what Buterins previous project was before ETH ? Obviously a clever dude but not on genius level like most people seem to think.

How old was he then? Give the kid a break.

Sorry if this has been discussed already but has anybody read: An (Institutional) Investor's Take on Cryptoassets? By John Pfeffer

He makes a point that platform and utility cryptos will have a hard time up against the laws of supply and demand. I am trying to figure out how much value these assets can provide for the end user, (going out and buying ETH on the open market with the purpose of spending it) while also appreciating and providing value for the hodler. How is the end user going to benefit by using ETH vs the status quo, or a new, cheaper alternative?

I am not an ETH hater, this is just something I struggle with when the valuation is nearing 100bn before a killer dapp has even been brought to market. Any opinions or further reading would be appreciated.
